The purpose of the qualifying visit is to assess the patient’s health condition and exclude any contraindications for the planned surgery.
The pre-operative consultation (PRE-OP) is a follow-up meeting with the orthopedic surgeon, the physical therapy team and, if necessary, also an orthotist and a psychologist.
Anaesthesiology consultation takes place in the Medicover Hospital. At the meeting, you must provide a set of tests which should not be older than 1.5 months from the date of surgery.
During the pre-operative consultation, details such as the course of the operation, anesthesia, preparation for hospital admission, and formal matters will be discussed. These visits are important not only for medical reasons but also to provide patients with a sense of security. Each patient could ask questions freely, and the doctors and medical care coordinators are committed to providing comprehensive and understandable information.
